FAQs

Are these socks suitable for everyday wear in warm weather?

These socks are designed for cold weather due to their double face construction and fleece lining. They may be too warm for mild or hot conditions.

What is the main benefit of the double face construction?

The double face construction creates an extra layer that traps air, providing enhanced insulation and warmth, which is ideal for cold environments.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Refer to the size chart provided by Rototo or compare with your usual sock size. The specific size for this product is L.

Can I machine dry these socks?

It is strongly recommended to air dry these socks. Machine drying, especially on high heat, can cause shrinkage and damage the wool and cotton fibers.

What makes the merino wool blend beneficial?

Merino wool provides natural temperature regulation, moisture-wicking properties, and odor resistance, contributing to overall comfort and performance.

What does 'slubby blend' mean?

A 'slubby' yarn has irregular thickness along its length, which contributes to the unique texture and appearance of the fabric. It adds to the character and durability of the sock.

Troubleshooting

Socks feel too tight after washing.

Ensure you are washing in cold water and air drying. Avoid high heat. If shrinkage has occurred, gentle stretching while damp may help slightly.

Wool odor persists.

Air out the socks in a well-ventilated area. If necessary, wash with a mild wool-specific detergent. Merino wool has natural odor-resistant properties, but thorough airing is usually sufficient.

Pilling or fuzziness on the surface.

This is a natural characteristic of slubby yarns and wool blends. Gentle washing and air drying help minimize it. A fabric shaver can be used carefully if significant pilling occurs.

To maintain the quality and longevity of your Rototo Double Face Socks:
